Love it or Leave it? The Light Bench

Check out the latest techie project for parks: light benches! Covered with huge white light-filled bulbs, which I'm assuming are solar powered and super sturdy, these bright benches may be a vision of the future. Featured on pc news, illuminated benches hope to make public parks safer by reducing crime and suspicious activity. But then again, the attention these new glowing benches may attract could entice vandals given that fact that even basic wood benches are targets. What do you think? Would you like to see parks and public areas with light-up benches? Leave your comments below!

Ooh, if you have a seat with your date, I say no way. Hello, think of about the lighting! Recall the flashlight under the chin trick. Scary.
On the other hand, its great for spooking bums away from sleeping on them.

I think they would probably attract bugs, like some of the other commentators, and they should be solar powered to be useful. But with all the light pollution already out there, I'd like to see these used strategically, in places that need to be lit already. I'm thinking of bus stops, busy street corners, and in parts of college campus'.
